Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions
I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Helped us identify areas where frontline staff aren't following standard procedures or using unexpected systems, giving us better insight into our end users' workflows
To analyze and make sense of the data generated by Kryon process discovery can be a lot of effort. It's not as automatic as some might think. It really depends on how many processes you have and how actively you use them. But the scalability aspect isn't necessarily about deployment or technical maintenance. It's really about how you analyze and gain insights from the data gathering. I'd rate the scalability a seven out of ten because the solution has been scaling well for a long time. It's very easy to deploy. But getting value out of it at scale can be a challenge, just like with any deployment. We use it mainly for process discovery. We actually proceed it from different teams. So, we have 15 licenses that we rotate with different people, actually through different teams. So, we do discovery for the online team; we gather the results after about two weeks to a month. We analyze those results, and then we deploy them again on the analytics team. We regularly deploy it to different teams. So, it's in constant use. It just runs on the systems through discovery mode most of the time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market. Very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"The solution has very good processes. It's very easy to deploy and has good reviews on it. It offers good automation and the solution has very good developers working on it."
"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"The most valuable features are the portals for extracting data from PDF files, appending data to SAP, automating the SAP, downloading reports, and mapping and creating the reports accordingly to your requirements."
"The best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."
"I use it in my client project to extract data and communicate it for business purposes."
"Kryon RPA is very stable - we've not had many disruptions, and the product is updated regularly."
"We have absolutely seen return on investment; we felt that we had to get to between 40 and 80 hours of weekly savings to get our ROI and we're already almost there, and that's good news overall."
"Kryon will allow you to automate processes fast and easy and you do not need to be a developer to automate processes."
"Besides that, it works, it's stable, it has nice performance, and was, therefore, a good decision to go with it."
"In the last month, we achieved 11,000 activities done by robot, before Kryon we did 500 each month."
"Attended automation has diverted 34 percent of training calls to our tech support centers."
"Those 15,000 hours saved are a fantastic result and we're at a 99 percent success rate."
"The recording feature enables us to record what we're doing, like typing or clicking the mouse, and to identify objects on the screen. We basically teach the program how to type, instead of a person. That's the most powerful feature."
 

Cons

"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better."
"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible. Currently, it is more rigid, and a little more flexibility is required. Their technical support should also be better. We are not very happy with their technical support. Its price is also quite high as of now. They should improve its price. Its setup should also be made easier. It is quite complex to set it up. Even though we were able to set it up a little fast because we had done something similar earlier, but it has a very complex setup. It is extremely resource-hungry. If they can make it a little light on resources, that would also be useful."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"Kryon RPA need to enhance the robustness of our multi-board architecture to ensure the availability of bots on multiple machines."
"I would improve the object recognition features, making it not linked to the screen resolution or the position."
"It would be better to have [upgrades] done automatically, like an application on your smartphone. Or even if done manually, the upgrade should just be "next, next, next," and it's upgraded, rather than making it a project to upgrade."
"The product requires some more time in development. It still has some bugs and some things to work out. They're constantly releasing. They need to continue working out the general issues of using the product at scale, first and foremost."
"I would like to see a better OCR solution. That's the main thing: identifying unstructured data, like all paper documents and data from pictures."
"I would expect that in the first year there is no ROI."
"What we are lacking is OCR, the ability to read text."
"We have found some difficulties regarding the integration with legacy systems where the screen has elements in the Hebrew language."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"The pricing is fair."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"We have been able to alleviate two FTEs, which was a big savings for us. We were able to reuse those resources in other locations. It is over 5000 hours a year in total savings."
"We've more than broken even over on the license. Year to date, we are at $120,000 in savings."
"It is very cheap. I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"We're paying in the neighborhood of about $66,000 a year. The cost is fairly similar to its competitors' costs. It might have been a little bit more reasonable than the others, and that cost was with Process Discovery in addition."
"We are probably saving $6000 to $8000 a month in labor costs. It's not a ton, but we're right around $60,000 to $80,000 a year with our current deployment."
"The price is affordable."
"For an unattended robot it's $6000 a month."
"We have a yearly license. It's about $5,000 per year."
